The Age of Spiritual Machines
Ray Kurzweil
I have to admit being disappointed by Ray Kurzweil's latest book, particularly in light of his excellent "The Age of Intelligent Machines," which chronicled the emergence of the AI movement. He paints a portrait of what we might expect when computer processing power exceeds that of our own brains that borders on science fiction. That said, many of his previous predictions have come true and are based on sound logic. Get more information from Amazon.com.
